Abstract: The present paper is devoted to new, improved bounds for the eigenfunctions of random operators in the localized regime. We prove that, in the localized regime with good probability, each eigenfunction is exponentially decaying outside a ball of a certain radius, which we call the "localization onset length". For $ell>0$ large, we count the number of eigenfunctions having onset length larger than $ell$ and find it to be smaller than $exp(-Cell)$ times the total number of eigenfunctions in the system. Thus, most eigenfunctions localize on finite size balls independent of the system size.
